what shall its fortune be then
to feed the lurking crow?

Clear View

this thick cloud, restraining my sight I sit and face, in pious unruffled mind I sit and wait, for its passing to be done for the great wind, alas, I don't command December '11

Just me

Sparkling lights. Twinkling eyes. Her golden hair wrapped around her neck like a warm scarf. A gentle breeze would've been enough to knock me over in this moment. My throat was clogged with unspoken words and wishes. The night had only just begun and yet it felt like an eternity. "Come with me" she whispered. A siren couldn't have been more convincing. We walked through the dusk soaked town. Past the maroon painted bridge, past the cars with their blinding lights. My body was above water but I felt drowned. Muffled sounds of logic echoed and blurred visions of rationality desperately appeared before me. I couldn't understand them. Her cool

A new spring poem

Flowers fall to where snow once stood, blowing with cool gale upon a sailors' new sail. Spring returns, a promise that burns with glorious spurs for all, even curs. Enjoy these days that are fast retreating, for they go with the wind ever fleeting. Like the flower the blooms on the withered tree, so to will you see nature's sweet mystery.

more haiku

the pendulum swings and another hour of life is gone forever. it is not disdain that shields my heart from you love - rather, it is fear. go, go, godzilla! rampaging, spread chaos, and leave fear in your wake. the gravel road leads to a place I cannot see except in my heart. failure. long has it stalked me and now moves to kill. dragonflies hum through the air their wings a chorus. broken stones a dry and water-less land. home - or a grave?

You

One tie Bonds two souls, Hate grows. Stronger, stronger, Stronger. I hate you. More than anything, Anything, I hate you. I long to see your body lie, Lifeless. I long for your eyes, To stare without seeing, Forever. I long for your blood to run, Like a river. To stain my hands with murder, Murder, murder, Death. Your death. As much of s blessing it would be, Death is not enough for me, And my Hate, My true pure Hate Remember… My only reason for your continued life, Is what is left of my sanity. But I will find a way to hurt you. To kill you. To kill, To kill. Our tie won’t last And then… My Hat

Lesbian

My thoughts wandered back into my fourth grade mind frame. She had beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes, And a perfectly white smile that reflected the sunlight like a mirror. She was a good teacher, mmmhmmm, good to look at, And I even knew it back then, Before I knew I was a lesbian. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Ranbows are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, And so am I! My thoughts wandered back into memories of Sam, my first girlfriend. She was shorter than I was, with wavy black curls, And with hazel eyes that seemed so enchanting, And she had beautiful pale white skin, mmmhmmm, lovely girl, And I knew it

Poetry

I found meaning In words so unspoken, And the places No eye catches. In the shade of behemoth movement, Watching a life Behind the borders of mind, Without a breath or word A reason to question the air above my head. How I breathe And am held down, And crawl through forests Still as the sky. Release burden, And listen to what was always there Between branches and channels, And breathe. Learn from each To know yourself. And the one's you would surrender it all for. Continue with that emblem To reaches Out of corners. Make the road your own. Forget each curve And listen in silence. There we fi

Here

I witness arrivals arriving, as departures take their leave, here too brief to celebrate, gone too soon to grieve, traveling to ancient Egypt, of scorching golden sand, so that 'thorns come with roses', is a quote I understand, journeying to tropical jungles, where wild greens thrive, Inspiring to live this life, Truly acting alive, voyaging to arctic icebergs, that only show their shore, much alike a body, with a soul of so much more, jet leg is slightly skeptical, of a clocks display of time, is it AM or is it PM, when it points to number nine? nevertheless- of all these places, some far and some near, somehow I don't want anywhere, more than I want here.

This Is For Elderly Or Matured Couples

This is for those older couples whom haters call "old queers": lovers, who had been boyfriends first, and had endured the bad weather, or storms, of prejudices, hatreds, snide remarks and brutal jeers; but since their first love in barefoot adolescence, they have stayed together.

Made-Up Transgressions

Eaten churches Soul-altering fetishism Human meat filling clear pipes Artistic cultists corrupting the prime species False and catastrophic accusations You press the splinters of the suffering and creative deeper into Their flesh to use their screams for music and Their blood for shitty tattoos So, take those empty urns out of the closet and donate them to The minorities you want to fucking slaughter Pluck the hypocrisy from dicks and pussies The world you want is boring as hell Get used to living near rainbows, gothic nightclubs, And film festivals that feature directors from other countries Embracing diversity will make life so much more enjoyable Those stories are cutting your kids But if that happens, that means you Have a project to work on Great for you, but terrible for them
